A Case of the Mondays

"Look's like somebody's got a case of the Mondays!"  The line made famous by the movie Office Space, which just so happened to be filmed here in Austin.  Yep, that was me today.  After the long weekend, I woke up with absolutely no desire to return to the office.  No real reason except that my bed was warm and comfy and I didn't want to get out of it.  Plus, while I am a ton better, I am still recovering from my cold from last week.  The barking cough is gone but I am still cruddy.  That does not make for a good Monday.  My boss commented on the way out of the office this afternoon that I had been quiet today which was out of the ordinary for me.  Well, I had spent most of the day with my headphones on and tried to focus on getting my work done.  Truth was I didn't want to work late so I wanted to knock all my work out before the end of the day.  Also, I spent most of Sunday in a bad mood and really just didn't want to deal with people today.  Shortly before I left the office, the Sheriff sent me a text that Kiddo was sick.  At that point I knew I was in for a long night.  It appears that the stomach bug that has been going around has hit my house.  First, the Sheriff and now Kiddo.  Here's hoping that I can avoid it since I really don't need to miss any work.

UGH. Hoping you don't catch the stomach bug either. Maybe your immune system is so busy fighting your current cold that it will just fight that one too without knowing it. :)

13 Things to Know Before You Meet Me

So, The Blathering is this weekend and 50 fabulous ladies are going to be converging on my city to take it by storm for 3 days.  I am terrified and excited all at the same time.  I do not know any of these women in real life and most of them I have only meet over the internet in the last couple of months as the attendee information has been posted.  Several have shared 13 things to know about me so I figured I would jump on the bandwagon as well.  Here it goes: I live in Round Rock and work in Austin.  However, I have only lived here for 4 years so I still have no idea where anything is.  I rely on my GPS for that reason.  Please don't laugh at me for this. But I am willing and able to drive around those who need transportation this weekend.  For the same reason listed above, I also have no idea what is really fun to do in Austin.  There are still a lot of tourist-y things I want to do like tour the Capitol and see the bats fly from the Congress Street Bridge.  If anyone is in

Random Thoughts and Observations

I am extremely easily annoyed these days.  It doesn't take much to get under my skin which makes me an unpleasant person to be around.  Knowing this, I've been keeping to myself a lot so I don't just completely go off on someone. I am also more emotional.  I almost cried in a meeting this week when one of the PMs welcomed me back to the office and commented that I looked thrilled to be there.  The comment didn't bother me because it was true.  It just re-emphasized how much I want to be home with Jackson.  And then I did it again the next day driving to work just because I really didn't want to go. The daycare situation is really stressing me out.  We have just over 2 weeks to find someone to watch Jackson while Chris and I are at work since our perfect in-home daycare fell through last week.  I am really not happy about this.  I never wanted to put my kids in daycare but I have no other options.  Nor do I have any idea how we are going to pay for this.

Why I Hate Dating

I was not a fan of dating before I got married so you can imagine that I am even less of a fan of dating now that I have divorced to add to my status. I never had much luck in the relationship world and being that I am still new to the Austin area, I have found it hard to meet people. So I have been trying the world of online dating via such websites as Match.com, Yahoo Personals, and eHarmony . Granted while I have had some luck in the form of J and James, the majority of my matches have been misses and it has been months since I have had a real connection with any of the guys I have been matched with. I received an email last week that is a prime example of why I hate dating again. Here is that email, word for word, with only personal information removed: your cute and you sound like a very sweet girl, but please dont take me to a musical, lol . im rob, i work graveyard so i dont wake up till like 3 or 4 in the evenings. and i try to be in bed before the sun rises. hit me up
